Your involvement in the search for a solution adapted to your needs will make it possible to avoid, mitigate or settle conflicts concerning issues as important as the custody of your children, the determination of support payments or the division of the property constituting your family patrimony. In addition, the involvement of each parent allows them to take responsibility for making decisions. Another important point is that the content of the exchanges held in family mediation is strictly confidential.

The liquidator must keep a close eye on the liquidation of the estate, taking into account the deceased&#8217;s last wishes and all the interests of the heirs. You will not be immune to the occurrence of certain conflicts between the heirs or even between yourself as liquidator and the heirs. It will be important to maintain constant communication and transparency with all parties involved in order to remove any perception of bias on your part. If the situation does not resolve itself, one of our mediators can intervene in the management of conflicts that persist in the liquidation of the estate that concerns you.<\/p>\n<p>The presence of a mediator from Me Martin Larocque will bring a new dimension to the dynamics between the heirs and also with respect to the liquidators. The presence of a mediator allows the parties to have the feeling that they are understood and that their needs have been heard. This feeling of being understood and listened to is part of the mediator&#8217;s role. The mediator then becomes the catalyst for breaking the deadlock in conflict situations related to the liquidation of your estate.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default fusion-faq-post fusion-faq-post-5677 estate-mediation \"><span class=\"entry-title rich-snippet-hidden\">What are the benefits of mediation in the settlement of a disputed estate?<\/span><span class=\"vcard rich-snippet-hidden\"><span class=\"fn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bcg-avocats.ca\/en\/author\/mlwp\/\" rel=\"author\">mlwp<\/a><\/span><\/span><span class=\"updated rich-snippet-hidden\">2023-03-02T14:49:42-05:00<\/span><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 id=\"faq_2-5677\" class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a data-toggle=\"collapse\" class=\"collapsed\" data-parent=\"#accordian-2\" data-target=\"#collapse-2-5677\" href=\"#collapse-2-5677\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper-main\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper-sub\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">What are the benefits of mediation in the settlement of a disputed estate?<\/div><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"collapse-2-5677\" aria-labelledby=\"faq_2-5677\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content post-content\"><p>Estate mediation is an accessible, quick and efficient process.
